Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions merely by looking through specifications. The pic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M10 II and E-P7.

To sum up, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Olympus E-P7 to provide you with extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged E-M10 II will be behind in sensor tech.
